Tube amps and DVD not a good mix?

I'm having difficulty with getting my integrated tube amplifier and my DVD player to live together. I'm using the analog video/audio output on the DVD player...of course the video out goes to the TV, and the audio out goes to the aux. input of my tube amplifier(integrated EL34). When I use the DVD player, a horizontal line, which I assume is interference of some kind, slowly moves from the bottom of the screen to the top. Unplugging the analog audio out solves the problem. The problem doesn't seem to be channel-specific. Both R and L channels cause interference when connected to the tube amp. I've also tried swapping the interconnects with others...not the problem either. I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions regarding this problem. I really like my tube amp...and I'd rather not be forced to go solid state.
